Good business, us keeping Zaha

Only until our ban is up, I can see us reopening our interest in him then..

is he going to be happy having submitted a transfer request and not been allowed to leave?

I'm going to have a flutter on Luiz getting more red cards than assists

He will go, but another 6 months and then £80m will help

He'll have to be, he signed a long term contract and Hodgson says that he's ok

I never really thought Zaha would go to Everton, but I am a little relieved that he is staying.

He probably won't be playing on Saturday though, and that means the best we can hope for is scraping a draw

not how it works though is it, seen plenty of players not at their best after this sort of scenario

Knowing Zaha, he will sulk for a couple of weeks and then realise that his best bet is to play as well as he can so he'll get transfer interest in January.

If Chelsea's ban gets lifted, he will end up there in January.

I don't think he'll want to give himself a poor rapport, I think he's more professional than that and will still just give his all, after-all, he, or the club won't want him to become devalued if all concerned accept that he's going at some point.

Tbf to city. They haven’t even purchased a player that rates in the top 25 of all time signings. They paid over the odds to encourage players to join. Just like Utd now have to do because they aren’t the best team in the league (arguably the biggest).

Just like any business will do when trying to gain an unnatural market share. Now though they’ve spent their money and compete on relatively level footing. If they’re still at the top in 10 years time and spending similar amounts to their rivals. Will we need to go back and complaints that 20 years ago they spent too much?

I think when aguero goes, they’ll give Jesus a season to see if he can cut it. They’ve enough goals form elsewhere imo.

This re Jesus. 👍

Iwobi on the left, Walcott on the right. The joy. Can't believe we sold Lookman to spend £40m on Iwobi. I've been dead impressed with Brands and Silva so far, but don't like this move, have never rated him, hope he proves me wrong.

Bernard on the left, Richarlison on the right. Walcott and Iwobi on the subs bench! I think we have had a cracking window but I don't get the Iwobi signing at all. Presumably Brands and Silva see something there but £40m just seems odd for him. Let's hope he proves us both wrong.

My predictions for the season.....

1 City - Just different class with the best squad and the best manager. KDB hardly featured and is without doubt the number one midfielder in the league. Their dodgy spell was when Fernandinho was injured and they've got a top class replacement/back up in Rodri. Also strengthed the left back slot. The only issue is the centre back area could be short with an injury but I suspect it won't matter. The chance to equal Man Utd and make it three in a row will be a big motivating factor.

2. Liverpool - I think they'll be a fair way off as they've failed to build on last season and I can't see them getting mid 90 points again. Last season was incredible but they had a lot of fortunate goals and kept an unusual amount of clean sheets. The projected goals for and against indicate City are on another level. Having The Ox back will give energy to the midfield and the full backs are top class. However one bad injury to VVD and they're f**ked in terms of a title challenge or even finishing above Spurs.

3. Spurs - Well run side who have bought well. Still short of a back up striker but Son can fill in there. If Kane can stay fully fit they'll give Liverpool a run for second. Dele Alli was woeful last season and if he gets back to his usual level, combined the midfield additions they'll be much stronger.

4. Arsenal - I'm honest this is purely based on Man Utd being a mess and Chelsea having a bang average squad. Arsenal have signed well although probably could've done with another centre back but the style and attacking quality should see them home.

Man Utd have signed well in defence and are building for the future but it's not enough. The midfield is so static and lacking attacking class it's laughable. Up front theres pace but not one world class player. Rashford will be the main man but he's got to improve big time to get 30 goals which is what you expect for a Man Utd striker. Out wide Martial is too lazy/inconsistent and Lingard is a squad player at best. Combine this with a third rate manager with a dated outlook and a mentality firmly set in the past, rather than the future - gone by Christmas.

Chelsea are going to struggle without Hazard. He carried them to fourth and Pulisic isn't anywhere near that level. Throw in injury to CHO and a feeble amount of firepower it'll be tough for such an experienced manager. I suspect Chelsea know it'll be a season of transition and don't expect much.

Bloody hell who let Alex loose on here. An informative assessment. No place for that on here. Cheers me man. 👍
